Some Kind of Courage
Some Kind of Courage | Dan Gemeinhart
8 posts | 12 read | 4 to read
Joseph Johnson has lost just about everyone he's ever loved. He lost his pa in an accident. He lost his ma and his little sister to sickness. And now, he's lost his pony-fast, fierce, beautiful Sarah, taken away by a man who had no right to take her. Joseph can sure enough get her back, though. The odds are stacked against him, but he isn't about to give up. He will face down deadly animals, dangerous men, and the fury of nature itself on his quest to be reunited with the only family he has left. Because Joseph Johnson may have lost just about everything. But he hasn't lost hope. And he hasn't lost the fire in his belly that says he's getting his Sarah back-no matter what. The critically acclaimed author of The Honest Truth returns with a poignant, hopeful, and action-packed story about hearts that won't be tamed... and spirits that refuse to be broken.

#HeatOfJuly Day 13: Hard to lose someone if you are convinced that #WeBelongTogether. Fats wrote the review for this one: “Joseph‘s story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. He was on a mission to get his dearest Sarah back and never was there a time that Joseph gave up. His heart was full of hope and courage. It‘s the story of a friendship that does not require words, and of the quiet courage inside all of us.” Link to full review ⬇️

And with this one, Dan Gemeinhart is two-for-two at making me cry. With a strong thread of family & friendship, this MG Western adventure is an all-around win. Loved Andrew Eiden's narration.

The cover fooled me (historical fiction? really?), but the story wooed me from page 1. I laughed and cried. More than once.
